Fundraising

RASTA has received two (2) Recreational Trails Grant (RTG) from the Wisconsin DNR to reroute and construct approximately 5,900 feet of single-track mountain bike, hiking and snowshoe trails at the Washburn Lake Silent Sports Trails Area ($8,850). This grant helps us speed up the repair of the older unsustainable trails, and will create our long planned beginner loop that starts at the Perch Lake Shelter. The second grant also continues our efforts to construct platforms over the wetlands on the south end of the Cassian Trail that hinder our grooming of the trail until it has frozen ($4,900). Planning and construction will occur in 2018 and 2019.

The grant was prepared by RASTA in cooperation with the Oneida County Forestry and Outdoor Recreation Department, and we are grateful for the support and assistance we have received from the County to develop and maintain the trail system and cross country ski trails.

The grants require a 50% match which is $13,750. Please, consider making a tax deductable donation to support these very important projects.
